Marinated Mushrooms

Mushrooms are perfect candidates for marinating, as they quite literally soak up flavor like a sponge. This recipe incorporates spicy red-pepper flakes with lemon juice, olive oil and garlic for a delicious starter to any meal.

MAKES ABOUT 3 1/2 CUPS

Skillet size limits the yield of this recipe; if you would like to double it, cook the mushrooms in two separate batches but marinate them together. Thyme, parsley, or basil makes a good last-minute addition—use only one, however, not all three.
